Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Rick jogged the same distance on tuesday and friday
Let "x" be the distance jooged on each tuesday and friday
He also jogged for 8 miles on sunday
Total of 20 miles for the week
Therefore, we frame a equation as,
total distance jogged = miles jogged on tuesday + miles jogged on friday + miles jogged on sunday
20 = x + x + 8
20 = 2x + 8
2x = 20 - 8
2x = 12
x = 6
Thus Ricky jogged 6 miles on tuesday and 6 miles on friday
One hundred and three million, seven hundred and twenty-seven thousand, four hundred and ninety five.
